Tenson 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 I'm not really much of an on the move listener, but I would think that a nice portable amp would be a nice step up and if you have the money after that maybe a pair of 'phones like the ETYMOTIC ER-6 that have excellent isolation. What do the rest of you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 If you're happy with the sound of the iRiver & SR60's but simply want to upgrade the sound further then I suggest getting a headphone amp if your iRiver has a line out. $500 will get you a really nice META42 design headphone amp plus the necessary hookup cable.

grados 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 yea im happy with sr60s n iriver just wanna further upgrade the sound and maybe if i have spare cash maybe go for a sr225s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2003 Porta Corda II is a good suggestion too it comes with a mini to mini cable, belt clip, 120 ohm adaptor & wallwart plug. However I never got a chance to hear it on the SR60 but I did try it on my RS-1. It's an extremely powerful little portable amp & sounds good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grados 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2003 woo thanks guys btw is really cheaper to build a meta amp urself? i myself am an engineering student so im like used to soldering almost every week... so might as well put my skills to use... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q00 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2003 how much are we looking here for the porta corda? N@Z keeps on recommending me the full blown Meta42 not the MINT variant, im starting to think his way as well It is a value for money investment and the spare cash could be used to get the sr225's later on.
